Advantages: Flexibility, Smartsync Software
Disadvantages: Simultaneous access to Mac and PC

...Not sure whether i was going for a Freecom NAS Hardrive or one of these, so read up a bit and ended up going for the more flexible approach that is the Netgear SC101. It certainly didn't let me down. I plonked a 25gb seagate hardrive into it and ran the software on my laptop. plugged in the netgear sc101 into my wireless router and within 5mins my laptop had found the 250gb hardrive wireless and was now formatting. The installation was certainly straight forward. Couple of things worth noting i didn't get the full 250gb from the drive infact i only got 232gb. No sweat i happy with 232gb. You can assign an admin password so you don;t get anyone messing with your data and there is also an option of partitioning the drive and mapping the drives to as many drive letters as you wish. It also comes with the smart sync software which... Read review

...When my brother bought this he let me have a go on it I wasn't really into tetris or any other gameboy game until after that first play then I was addicted and I cann't leave it alone now and I like to play on it when ever I can (when he goes out) altough he deleted all of my stats as he was sick of me playing on HIS gameboy. I have started playing on it again but not as much as before as I have learn't my lesson I now have 1192 lines and a power of 232.... Read review

Advantages: reasonable price
Disadvantages: no serial RS232 port, software limitations

...I bought a new Tosh 3000-X4 in february this year based on cost and the fact that I have had some good Toshiba machines in the past. The current machine I feel disappointed with now that I have had it for a few months. My first disappointment was the absence of a RS232 port and infra red ports. I used these applications quite a lot. I was probably blinded by the DVD player functions at the time of purchase as it was impossible to get one under a grand at that time. The DVD is great by the way! It came loaded with WInXP home edition. Fine if you like that sort of thing, but being an avid WIN 95 OSR 2 and WIN98 user I find it very disconcerting that I cannot run these versions on this machine effectively. I aint clever enough to write my own drivers for display etc. for the earlier Win versions, and Toshiba will NOT support these versions... Read review

Advantages: Data capabilities, design
Disadvantages: Aerial

...This is a surprising phone from Ericsson. It is CURVY. Ericsson usually make square phones that are usually dull and boring. This phone is an exception. The complete solution for voice and data. The Ericsson data phone GS 18, with its built-in data/fax modem, is specifically designed for those who need an easy to use mobile phone and mobile office solution. The GS 18 comes complete with an RS232 cable to connect to a PC or laptop making working on the move easier than ever. The aerial looks tacky and weak.... Read review

Advantages: Cheap for the level of resolution
Disadvantages: Poor customer and aftersales - not a home cinema projector

...The Infocus IN26XGA looked a good spec for the money. First disappointment was the input sockets. The information provided implied the projector had video ‘component’ connections but the RGB connection is only via the RS 232 (VESA) port, which can be done via an adaptor/accessory but this is not provided. Also you have to have a ‘component’ connection to achieve the higher levels of resolution the projector has, otherwise it is pointless paying for the extra picture resolution. There was no manual provided and information on the CD provided was scant. This may not have been a problem but the projector only produced very small scale pictures and it was not clear if this was by design or because the zoom was not working. The InFocus web site was also of no help and just added to the disappointment, particularly as it was not clear how... Read review

Advantages: Good layout, excellent results from both voice and fax, good build quality,interface with PC,loads of facillties.
Disadvantages: You will CERTAINLY need the instruction manual, idiosyncratic menu system,film system can be expensive to run

...Well, I never ever thought I would ever buy a Fax Machine-until I spotted this Pansonic KX-FM330E in my local Cash Converters for the princely sum of £20. TWENTY POUNDS?!!! I could spend more than that in a pub on a Monday night! Close inspection revealed little use but the smell of tobacco smoke-the previous owner had obviously liked cigarettes. But it came with full instuctions,leads (except the RS232-C PC lead-but you can't have everything!)and a spare film cartridge. The previous owner had completly gone PC so this specimen had become surplus to requirements. When I got it home, I plugged it in and just about managed to get the lead into telephone socket wall. After a good study of the instuctions, I had managed to set the voicemail and the ringer volume. Furthur study revealed loads more facillites such as recall of received... Read review

Advantages: Quick reliable dot matrix printer
Disadvantages: Just remember it is a dot matrix

...I have used these printers on and off for over 12 years. They are generally reliable and good for a 9 pin dot matrix. Some early ones had problems with weak drive gears, but later ones are fine. I had to go through about 50 of these looking for dodgy gears and replacing them!!!!! They support both IBM and EPSON control codes and have an easy to use menu which prints as it goes. They are available with both Centronics and RS232 sockets. Extras include various tractor feed modules. For business use with pre printed stationary they are excellent and are my favourite DMP. Scoring Picture Quality, well it is a dot matrix hence poor. it is also mono. In general OKI printers are very good, we have a colour laser at work which is very good and I will review it and the bigger version we get our customers to buy. My only concerns... Read review

Advantages: Inbuilt modem and IR port
Disadvantages: RS232 cable does not work with win 98

...I upgraded to the Ericsson SH888 from a Nokia 5110. Immeadiately the increased call quality was noticeable. With only 1 bar signal strength the SH888 gave a clear and sharp phone call. The reason for my upgrade was to use the infrared port and built in modem with my palm top PC and laptop. The Ericsson website has excellent for using the phone in this way. Modem scripts can be downloaded and installed easily and used straight away. The infrared port can be also be used to edit the phone book on the phone and send text messages with the software supplied in the box. My one gripe is that the RS232 cable included in the package will not work with windows 98, meaning my main unit could not be used with the phone. Another problem is that Ericsson refuse to supple Win CE software to edit the phone book except with their own handhelds.... Read review
